Check out this music video I created.

I'm Louie, a 17 year old Interactive Media student from the UK. I've been messing about with film over the past few years but have never done anything really serious before as this was my first time. For my final college project I chose to produce a music video for a friend who was promoting his new album.

You can see the music video here - https://vimeo.com/67601895

and you can find the making video here - https://vimeo.com/67601894

I'm really proud of this piece of work and was actually shocked with how good it turned out. (as i've never been taught about film before, i'm all self taught!)

However I'm posting this on here to hopefully get some people's opinions with what you like/dislike about the video.(i'd love to hear both!)

So if you would comment giving me some constructive criticism or maybe a compliment i'd appreciate it.

I like the B/W/Grayscale.
Not too many overexposed blowouts.
No rampant over usage of pervasive black/poor lighting.
Nice grayscale balance.

That said, the excessive number of juuuuust out of focus shots was horribly distracting to me.
Maybe others will see it as edgy creative <chuckles to self>, just wasn't doing anything for me.

It looks like the poopy little 3" screen the camera comes with just wasn't working for you to allow the wide open aperture to give enough depth for the artist/performer to move around in forward and backward.


IDK why, but we get A LOT of rap videos around here.
They all look disturbingly repetitive to me, image-wise. Just cycling back through the same material over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and... <quick inhale!> over and over and over and over ad infinitum.
I think that's just the industry standard.
By that measure this is fine.

Now, if you don't mind lifting a few techniques from someone else... recently I ran across this guy and found his work interesting: http://www.youtube.com/user/VisualMeccaENT/videos

GL!
